G D/F# I've been talking to the wall and it's been answering me Em B7 Oh darling how I miss you C G/B I'm just the mere shadow of my former selfishness Am7 D I crave the silhouette of your kiss G D/F# With only the blue light of the TV on Em B7 Lip reading threats and false alarms C G/B There's a boy somewhere holding hands with himself Am7 D And a girl in a window on the Reeperbarn C A/C# G B7/F# Whenever I put my foot in my mouth and you begin to doubt Em Em/D A/C# A That it's you that I'm dreaming about Cm C Do I have to draw you a diagram? C A/C# G G/F# Am Em All I ever want is just to fall into your human hands G D With the kings and queens of the dance hall craze Em B7 Checkmate in three moves in your heyday C G But the girls don't listen to your line anymore Am7 D Now you're part of someone else G D Em On the factory floor and you still say "Wheres the action?" B7 C Now you manufacture happiness G Am D And get sold on the cheap for someone's satisfaction
(chorus)
G D All you toy soldiers and scaremongers Em B7 Are you living in this world sometimes I wonder C G Am7 D In between saying you've seen too much and saying you've seen it all
before
G D Tighter and tighter I hold you tightly Em B7 You know I love you more than slightly G Am7 D Although I've never said it like this before
(chorus)
